This will get me through the winter? It's like a rotisseries bag! TIA!

I live in Northern Michigan. I will wear a fleece or sweatshirt under the coat. The coat is lightweight and not bulky. Perfect for errands, snow shoveling, walking the dog. Have worn it on very windy days at soccer tournaments at 40 degrees and it was very toasty. Not for standing out on a frozen lake for ice fishing. Wearing it to sit in a very cold ice arena today. The perfect coat for me, but we are all different. I do not like bulky coats that feel like I am wearing a marshmallow.

We live near Pittsburgh, PA. It gets cold very cold here some times in the single digits. When I used it for my granddaughter I never put anything underneath it, just the clothes she was wearing. I loved this for my granddaughter. I think you would be fine and wouldn't be disappointed in your purchase. If you are out for long periods of times like taking a walk ... I think you would need something else, but just going from your house to your car or your care into stores or taking to sitters you will be fine or even walking a few blocks. It is very warm inside.

This unit isn't constructed as an expedition bag with floating, overlapping v-channels. The long seams are sewnthrough but the comforter is so heavy & the fill so insulating that there are no cold spots. You can open your bedroom windows in January and still be toasty.

No problem. You are welcome. Under porck or carpot will be fine as long don't get snow or rain. Take care of you. Enjoy your bag!

The straps on my rack have been exposed to quite a lot of super cold (Michigan) weather and held up well. However, the true test is to see if they can take a Texas summer. I recently moved from MI to TX so I will have a chance to take this data point in a few months. Basically, ask me again in 4 months...

It feels just like a soft flannel shirt. I really like this bag it is super thick and the zipper is really heavy duty. Just finished archery elk here in Colorado and we got 8 inches of early snow at camp(10,000 elevation) I was plenty warm. Best deal i could find.

I never had the opportunity to carry the bag in that much heat. It is well insulated and I think with extra cold packs it may be just fine. The bag was a lot larger than I thought it would be so I do not use it for work everyday. More of a cooler for special occasions.

Yes, more like a duck canvas. If you're looking for thick and durable. You will be happy. And it's extremely warm. I Purchased 8 of them. They are tough, well built sleeping bags

Maybe very snuggly, problem is that it has 2 different sides. One person would mostly have the thin layer on to and the other w/the thicker insulated top. The grey u see in the pic is a thin breathable fabric, no padding. The blue side is the padded/stuffed/insulated side. Its built like that so you can flip it, for more or less insulation. Definately not a cold weather bag. Spring/summer. More Summer, LOL.

I have it put away til i need it next. I would not think it would hold up to winter conditions.

It is not sewn in and it squirms on you when you move around in it. This bag is overated about it's temperature rating, in 40 degree wx you will feel cold! I would not buy again, maybe I would if it was $25.00 and advertised as a 30 Degree bag.

Hi..unfortunately I just purchased this and have not had our winter as of yet. I would not feel comfortable assuming how it will do.

I love this bag. The re-useable ice pack keeps your food cold for 4 to 5 hrs. It's not refrigerator cold, but it is better then any other lunch bag I have owned. I hope this helps

My first use of this bag was on a night that dipped to 40 degrees. If I completely covered myself (hood up and tight) I was actually a little too warm. My feet were chilly all night though regardless - wish I had worm wool socks that night.

It feels rather sturdy but I don't know how it will be in the winter. I love in Northern New Jersey, and I had only purchased this in early summer. The plastic isn't flimsy, I can hold it in one hand filled with water and it doesn't bend or seem to stress. But again, time will tell. I will likely keep it in the coop anyway winter.

I'm 5'6" and bought this bag last fall for the same reason. The one time I used it and it got down to 30 degrees, I was cold. From what I understand, these cold weather bags keep you warm by trapping your body heat in the bag, but with a bag that big my body just couldn't keep the air inside the bag warm enough. I found your question because I am currently shopping for another bag before my next camping trip. I'd recommend something smaller. I'm sure none of these rectangular bags work as well as a mummy bag, but there are smaller options available rectangular bags that should still allow for a reasonable amount of movement.

I don't think so. The general consensus (with which I agree) is that this is actually more of a 40 degree bag. You may have to undress a bit for warmer nights but you should be good.
